Not to line them all up against a wall and shoot them.

Maybe make them watch American history X or something, fuck do I know but a solution to hate isn't more hate.

We should try to reform them by giving them gainful employment.

To this end, I suggest we put tons of them in major positions of power. You know, like America did after the war.

American History X is probably not the best de-Nazifying material but I do agree that in a perfect world, forcibly reeducating them is a more ideal solution, and in certain situations maiming or even just punching can work as a short-term solution.

It's not so much about hate as it is about defending ourselves and protecting the people who their continued existence is a constant threat towards. Though the hate doesn't hurt.

Some of us don't have the luxury of waiting for a perfect solution. In the meantime, Bash The Fash

Lining up defeated Nazis in the community rec center, rolling out an old CRT TV, and showing them the Green Book lmao.

They'll be begging for the wall in no time.

Make them all attend sensitivity training

Reeducation is for peace time, after winning and substantially changing the system. Sure, right now you may be able to change individual minds. I’m sure many here started off as some reactionary, I know I certainly did. But the problem is that the institutions with power and influence and the condition that created Nazis are still present and PROMOTED by society.

It’s the equivalent of Planet Fitness. Will some members become very fit and very healthy? Absolutely, with the right program and discipline, they can achieve that anywhere. But when you discourage advanced training, fill the gym with ineffective machines made by conmen, and feed everyone pizza, the majority will continue to stay unfit and unhealthy.

That's why I said "in a perfect world," also I thought it was funny

The solution to stopping the Nazi war machine is to get them all to watch a movie.

Do you have access to some type of time teleportation device, where do you see a Nazi war machine 😭

the best time to treat cancer is early, before it metastasizes and becomes inoperable

[–] Filipdaflippa@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I had to bring down my dictionary from my shelf and find metastasizes, cool word

[–] MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Well, at least you're learning something today, despite your best efforts not to.

maybe make them watch American History X or something

Hahahahahahaha okay now I’m convinced this must be a bit. Nothing like some ed Norton to cure racism. Why not make them watch 21 Jump Street, after all it cured Kanye of antisemitism

Someone was asking us yesterday why we hate liberals, this response right here encapsulates just about every reason we hate liberals

[–] Filipdaflippa@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You hate liberals because you live in America and are mentally ill.

It’s because I can’t afford a therapist

Hell yeah 👍 now that's what I'm talking about ⚒️

My dad was a neonazi and he loved watching American History X because he enjoyed the representation of his beliefs up on the silver screen.

He was entirely immune to and ignorant of the moralising that underpinned the denouement of the film.

You're suggesting rounding them up for re-education. We suggest that all the time, and yet when we suggest it you call us monsters.

The time for re-education was 10 years ago though. There are far too many fascists now and they are embedded in far too many institutions, the inevitable outcome is already decided and the only pathway out down the line will be violent.
